Okay, hello there people. I got this review from someone, they were on anon and they said that they didn't get it? So if they are reading this then could they review saying what they didn't get and I will try to explain. I am also extremely grateful for all the reviews and favourites and follows, if you didn't know before then this is your last chapter to comment whether you want KT and/or Willow in this because they will either be in the next chapter or not. I am leaning towards adding in Willow and not KT, so we will see where that goes. Also, I would really like your ideas for upcoming chapters if you have anything you want to see, I will give you credit of course.
And one final thing. Do you want this story to be Jeroy or Jara? I think I prefer Jeroy to Jara but I will write either of them, so please review telling me whether you want Jeroy or Jara!
Thank you guys for your reviews again, 19 of them in three chapters! Woo!

Recap:
"Nothing, I think. But for some reason Amber glares at me every time I go near him!" She complained.
"It's because they're EWE's" I explained.
"They're sheep?"
"What? They're 'Exes with Emotions' whatever that means."
"So Amber sees me as a potential threat?"
"Yes."
"Interesting..."
Back to the story:
The rest of the week actually flew by, Eddie was still as irritating as hell, Joy in the space of one short week had turned into the person I trusted second most in the world (Piper being first obviously) Amber was actually not as dumb as she comes across, Jerome and Alfie were probably the people that I talked to with the most ease because they were such pranksters, Fabian had turned into a good friend because Joy was always hanging around him and I was always hanging around with Joy, I had only spoken to Nina during English classes because Joy says that they are arch enemies because of Fabian. Honestly I think that Fabian is more trouble than he's worth, but I'm not Joy or Nina. Mara seems sweet but she is really smart so we don't have much to talk about, her and Jerome's relationship seems to make it a bit easier to talk with her though. Mick was your typical jock, so I didn't really have much to talk about with him but when I did find something to talk about with him we had good chats.
Joy had explained to me that although we were all very good friends, we were all in different cliques or whatever. There was Eddie, Mick, Jerome and Alfie who were the "cool kids" and the rebels or something. Honestly if Eddie was someone that people wanted to be like then I would hate to see who they didn't want to be like.
Amber, Joy (and Nina because she was Amber's best friend) were the nice when they like you but horrible when they don't popular people, only Nina was only the nice part of that.
Then you had Mara and Fabian. Now they were very difficult to class into cliques because Fabian was friends with Eddie, Mick, Alfie and kind of Jerome, he was dating Nina and Amber adored him because she thought that 'Fabina' were the best thing since Victoria Beckham made a fashion line. Mara was dating Jerome, quite close with Eddie because they did this newspaper thing together a while back, she and Mick used to be kind of dating kind of not and she was in a sisterhood with Joy. The only reason that they weren't easy to classify was because they were major nerds, in a good way though. They were always studying and reading and all that stuff, so it was hard to say whether they were cool or not.
Seeing as Piper and I were new, we hadn't gotten into our cliques yet apparently, although, according to Amber (because she was the self appointed 'Queen Bee' of the school, when I was told that I wasn't sure if it was a good thing or a bad one) Piper was like Mara in the way that she was smart, yet friends with popular people. Also, seeing as Joy was my buddy and stuff I somehow was in their group and apparently seeing as Nina was the only nice one out of their group then I could balance them out because I was so mean apparently. Well to be fair I did dump my apple juice on Jerome's head because he called me a wimp at some point during the week.
I wasn't sure if I liked this clique thing.
So, seeing as it is the weekend I was planning on sleeping, eating and doing my homework at the last minute in a way that I can maintain a B average. But that wasn't happening, because on Saturday Joy's family was holding a barbeque and the whole year was going, so Piper told my mum and dad and they were all "You two have to go!" And then they got in touch with Joy's parents and her parents told my parents that Joy wanted me to stay over Saturday night and go home sometime on Sunday, so my parents, wanting me to be social or something like that were all "Yes, Patricia would love to stay!" Without even asking me, granted I probably would have said yes though.
So, it turned Saturday at 10am and I got up, with two hours until I had to go to Joy's. I curled my hair, something I hadn't done in a while and put on a "These are the days We are the times." shirt, with some dark blue skinny jeans and a pair of suede Jeffrey Campbells. I left the house with around half an hour to spare, so I decided to walk to Joy's. I got a text when I was around 5 minutes away from her house saying
Help! I have no clue what to wear! How long until you can be here?
-Joy
I laughed to myself seeing how she only had 15 minutes to get ready and she had no idea of what she wanted to wear. I quickly texted back
5 minutes around? Not sure how much help I can be in the fashion department though... are you sure you didn't mean to text Amber?
-Patricia
Joy didn't reply to that text but I didn't really mind considering that I was on her driveway. A couple of seconds later the front door swung open and Joy was standing there in a dinosaur onesie with no makeup and some giant nerd glasses.
"You do realise that you have 10 minutes to get ready right?" I asked her.
She grabbed my arm and dragged me upstairs with no reply.
"Okay, now so do you think I should wear the Striped Bouclé Shorts or the Chino Shorts with the cute anchor print?" She asked me.
I surveyed the two pairs of shorts and then said "The bouclé."
"Alright, the chino it is!" She smiled and grabbed a shirt that said "Think Positive" on it and put on some studded light blue low top Converse.
I rolled my eyes behind her back as she went, with an instruction to heat up the curling irons, which I did and then flopped on her bed.
Around 20 minutes later she was finally ready. I complained about being late to her barbeque and she replied
"We're fashionably late. There's a difference. Besides Amber won't be here yet, which means Nina won't be here yet which means Fabes won't be here yet. So there isn't much point in being on time!"
"Your logic is amazing." I replied sarcastically.
She rolled her eyes at that and then dragged me downstairs. When we went out into her garden it seemed like the whole town was there. It was crazy. When we were getting a burger I felt a tap on my shoulder and turned around and guess who was there. The slimeball.
"Hey there slimeball." I said in a bored tone. I hadn't really seen him in the past week and it had, dare I say it, been kind of boring not having him around to insult. Not that I would ever admit it.
"Hello there Yacker." I didn't even have time to tell him to not call me that because I felt another tap on my shoulder and the looming presence on impending doom, which could only mean one thing. The parents.
I turned around very slowly and saw their faces. I decided to act natural.
"Hey there guys, food's good isn't it?" I said bringing up my burger to my mouth so that I wouldn't have to continue this conversation that was probably more awkward than the average one with parents seeing their daughter talking 3 words to one guy at a barbeque.
My mum brought up her hand and lowered my burger before I could take a bite. She then started to talk to Eddie while I snuck in a giant bite of my burger, facing a pointed stare from my dad.
"So, we're Patricia's parents, and you are?" My mum asked Eddie.
"Eddie, pleasure to meet you." He smiled at them. I almost choked on my burger I was so shocked that he could act kind.
They started this conversation that, as soon as I took another giant bite out of my burger went into Eddie saying
"Oh yes, Patricia and I are very good friends." He said confidently, throwing a smirk in my direction that neither of my parents caught because they were too busy looking shocked as hell. The worst part was that I couldn't even protest because of my mouth full of burger when my mum suggested that Eddie come round for dinner sometime and he agreed, then my parents walked away, I swallowed, he smirked, saying "See you around Yacker." He left and then Joy, Amber and Nina came up to me, Joy dying with laughter, Amber saying something about something called Peddie and Nina saying that she was sure it wouldn't be that bad.
So, the whole night consisted of Joy teasing me about how I had to sit through a dinner with Eddie, me saying that I may fake having Mad Cow Disease and then we watched Twilight and she shut up.
Needless to say, I was not looking forward to this dinner.
Okay, now I think that's a good chapter. Please review answering all the questions in the author's note bit at the top! Thanks for reading!
